i was surprised how many people got on garland so quick. Dude missed basically an entire year of basketball and didn't play much higher level competition from high school to the pros.

Of course he was going to have a bit of a learning curve and feeling the confidence from coming back from that injury. But dude has the complete skills set. He has a floater and a quick trigger from deep. He is def going to be a problem.

:lol: I'm just kidding. RJ is the future of the Knicks, we all know this so of course we are riding with him. I'm still waiting for the FO to fully commit to him and build around him the right way though. We need to purge the roster because a lot of the dudes that were brought in, simply don't fit and just stand in the way. To fully maximize RJ, we gotta bring in complimentary pieces. Also, RJ does have a lot of work to do himself when it comes to developing his game but he's a work horse and a bright dude so I'm not too worried about him grinding his way to become the best version of himself.

Yeah, I admittedly don't watch too many Cavs games because I'd rather watch paint dry, but was bored so decided to watch last night. He was 2-9 from 3, which was pretty bad. But near the end of the game hit a few clutch floaters and mid range shots that ultimately won the game for the Cavs. I noticed at the end of the game when the Cavs players like Love and Thompson would get a rebound they were starting to freeze Sexton out and give to to Garland to bring the ball up instead.

I don't know man, people have crossed some lines with Durant. I don't care anymore. Hell of a basketball player, all time great, possibly the best player of the last decade, pretty insecure but so is everybody to an extent and it has to be lonely at these heights so whatever. I would have left OKC too if I was him so I'll def give him that. I wouldn't have used burner accounts no matter what however and most of all I wouldn't have gone to Brooklyn, not teamed up with Kyrie of all people... but you know it's his life.

What's most tiring to me is people talking about his personal life and decisions so much. I don't care at all about that stuff and he is an incredible basketball player. As pathetic as he's been he's still nowhere near the phony attention whore LeBron is. I'd love to just tune him out now.

Gotta respect Kawhi for being all about basketball.

Wizards waived CJ Miles. That's a player smart contenders should consider picking up now despite his out for season status. Imagine him off the GSW bench next year...

I’d have left okc too. Just wouldn’t have joined a 73 win team. The criticism for that is deserved. Ultimately it’s his life but at the same time we aren’t obligated to ignore that gutless kind of move and the impact it had on the league

You expect him to think of himself as so good that he can't do what he wants to anymore. I think it should be the opposite: Worked hard enough to be in position to do what he wants. He rightfully liked those guys, their coach and their style and he doesn't get paid to balance out the league. Just a ball player. I've said it before, I don't believe in cheat codes when grown men play professional ball. 29 teams and their fans just shouldn't have bitched about it.

But most importantly: Whatever.

Perk crossed lines. Durant shouldn't respond to every slight. Both need to stay off Twitter.

Or not. I am entertained.

Durant is a well-known arrogant and a hypocrite. He wants to be viewed as a nice guy but inside him there is a lot of bad thoughts for most of people that have played and worked with him. He even prefered Brooks over Donovan. Im glad we didnt sign those two pricks, let the Nets keep those elephants in their room
Strength and Honour!

Not having Porzingis is why they've been losing. His defense is what makes them a playoff team.

Ayton and Oubre with solid games to help the Suns win with Booker having an off night

Suns gotta start Rubio/Booker/Oubre/Mikal/Ayton eventually. That lineup has been great to close out games

Oubre had more than a solid game, he had a monster game

25 points / 15 rebounds / 3 steals / 2 blocks

Ayton was beasting on the inside too

I love their young core
